Indonesia

If you’re a first time visitor to Indonesia, or just have a couple of weeks to spare, Java is the perfect destination. Here’s why.

The Java-based trip leader is a pro at making people as passionate as him about his country. He’s also an incredible photographer.

There’s no arguing that Indonesia is the perfect place to get your fix of sun and sand but there’s other reasons to go too!

As a travel photographer, I was excited about the items included on a tour through Indonesia: smoking volcanoes, cycling, and sacred temples in a landscape sewn together like a patchwork quilt.

As an archipelago made up of more than 1,700 exceptionally diverse islands, there’s no better way to see some of Indonesia’s dazzling treasures than on a cruise.

While the food and the flavours of Indonesia initially stitched our group together, it was our friendships that kept us eating together the rest of the trip.
